About Me

I am a stay at home mom of three great kids. I love the Lord and it is my strong desire to raise my kids to love God and know Him personally. I married my best friend 15 years ago and love him more every day. Some things I like to do are jogging, "antique" shopping, gardening, looking at decorating magazines, and sitting out back on my swing watching my kids play.
I am making my house a home a little at a time and want my home to be comfortable place for my family and friends to gather in. It is a fun challenge to do it on a tight budget. Beautiful and "cheap" things are a passion of mine!

I was hoping there were some experts out there on taking wallpaper down. I have two bathrooms in my new house that are wallpapered in flowers. I am not a floral wallpaper kind of girl and prefer a simple coat of paint. I have heard that it is not an easy job, so I thought I would get some advice from those who have done it before. Let me know if you have any handy tips. Thanks!

I just sent my first Fall Swap package. I sent mine out a little late with the arrival of my new little one, but I did take some pictures of what I sent to Summer. I had so much fun coming up with fun things to send her. I took a picture of the pumpkin tassel I made close up, but I can't find it anywhere! That seems to be a theme for me right now!

It's been awhile since my last post. My new baby (and other two kids) have kept me busy...I have been "tagged" by Amy from Farleyville and I will get to that. I won't forget!

We are slowly working on our new house making it into our cozy cottage home. I wanted new carriage style garage doors because they would go great on our house with the weathervane that is on top of the house. They are very expensive, so we did the "budget" update. I ordered the hardware from ebay for $67 including shipping and we screwed them in to our metal garage doors. They turned out great and I got the look without the high price. I can send you the name of the store I got them from if you are interested.

Had to give an updated picture on the new baby! His sister loves him so much!

Our new son was born on Sept. 30th at 3:56 p.m. An hour and a half after they gave me potocin, he came. I was hoping for a successful epidural this time, but it was too late again. I guess I was not meant for epidurals! He weighed 8 lbs. 3 oz. and is 20 inches long. He is such a sweet blessing to our family! He is a great baby. I thank the Lord for another healthy child! Three is keeping me busy for sure, but I am enjoying having a baby to hold again!

His big brother and sister are so proud!

We are finally home and out of that crazy hospital! ( I don't like hospitals)"Wow, there is finally a baby in this crib!"
